Enlightenment Seekers

Enlightenment is about the removal of ignorance. It is not any temporary mystical experience or temporary experience of Samadhi that lasts for certain duration. It is not thoughtless state too or else everybody would be enlightened in deep sleep. It is firm understanding about what you are beyond the body-mind complex. Vedanta is an established source that provides the procedure to reach there to those that are qualified* to study it. To those that are not yet qualified to study it, some preparatory practices would be needed to purify the mind like Karmayoga, I-Am/AUM Meditation, Bhaktiyoga etc.

Once you are qualified for Vedanta, you need a teacher for Vedanta. The reason for this is that when you study Vedanta on your own you face apparent paradoxes and may feel how can that be? These apparent paradoxes can be removed by a teacher. The scriptures with commentaries of gyanis can remove confusion. For study, the following texts are recommended:

Tripura Rahasya / The Mystery Beyond The Trinity
Bhagavad Gita (
Detailed Commentary – Swami Chinmayananda)
Who Am I – Ramana Maharshi
Tattvabodha (Definitions of terms used in Vedanta)
Taittereya Upanishad (Pancha Kosha Self Inquiry)

If you are an ardent reader, then of course there are many more:

Patanjali Yoga Sutra
Vivekachoodamani
108 Upanishads
Ashtavakra Gita
Yoga Vasistha

I Am That – Nisargadatta Maharaj
Panchadasi
Avadhoot Gita
Uddhava Gita
Ribhu Gita
Brahmasutras

The 52 videos of, “Upanishad Ganga” on YouTube can be referred along with the study of scriptures. Online/Bhopal Vedanta course can be requested by the qualified seekers.
